Will the United States destroy itself from within? It’s easy to see how catastrophic war, invasion, natural disasters, economic instability, disease, famine, etc., could destroy a society, or even an entire civilization, but can extending sexual permissiveness do the same? According to J.D. Unwin's research, which is corroborated by modern trends, the path to a society's destruction begins when sexual permissiveness becomes unrestrained. This unchecked permissiveness leads to the erosion of sexual ethics and family structures, an initial breakdown that sets off a cascade of psychological, social, and economic consequences capable of causing the total collapse of a once-thriving society.
